Hitchhiking Was Common In The ’60s And ’70s
In the 1970s, people relied on hitchhiking to get around the country. It was a little risky, but the prospect of having more freedom enticed young people. Hitchhiking has, in fact, always been a part of human culture since the dawn of time. However, it was not until the 1970s that it gained popularity. Back then, these kids trusted strangers behind the wheel with their lives. However, in recent years, this has become much less common. People still hitchhike, but it isn’t as common as it once was.

At the turn of the century, when explorers took on the Arctic, people were awestruck. For the honor of being the first to reach the South Pole, people competed! In 1911, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott launched the Terra Nova Expedition to do just that. The group encountered difficult conditions on their way to the “pole hunt.” After nearly a year of waiting, they arrived on January 16, 1912. The story’s most tragic aspect was that a flag had already been placed there! Roald Amundsen of Norway beat them by a month.
